Abstract
A system for compressed data transfer across a graphics bus in a computer system. The system includes a bridge, a system memory coupled to the bridge, and a graphics bus coupled to the bridge. A graphics processor is coupled to the graphics bus. The graphics processor is configured to compress graphics data and transfer compressed graphics data across the graphics bus to the bridge for subsequent storage in the system memory.
